OBI-WAN KENOBI Season 2 Gets a Disappointing Reality Check

For Star Wars fans hoping for more from Obi-Wan Kenobi, this one’s going to sting a bit.

A spark of hope lit up the fandom recently when insider Daniel Richtman reported that Season 2 of Obi-Wan Kenobi was in development. But that flicker was quickly snuffed out.

According to The InSneider's Jeff Sneider, Lucasfilm currently has “no plans” for a second season of the Disney+ series.

That update will be disappointing to some, especially considering how vocal Ewan McGregor has been about wanting to return. He’s previously said the idea of Season 2 was still being “explored,” even pitching the idea of playing a younger Obi-Wan during the Clone Wars era.

That would potentially bring back Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker and dig into some of that untapped storytelling gold between Obi-Wan Kenobi and A New Hope.

Obi-Wan Kenobi debuted in May 2022 with a six-episode run that was set after the events of Revenge of the Sith, and the story followed a broken Obi-Wan in exile, watching over a young Luke Skywalker on Tatooine. When Leia is kidnapped by the Inquisitors, he’s pulled back into the fight—leading to a brutal and emotional face-off with Darth Vader.

The series featured a solid supporting cast, including Rupert Friend as the Grand Inquisitor, Moses Ingram as Reva, Vivien Lyra Blair as young Leia, and Kumail Nanjiani as Haja Estree, with Sung Kang, Indira Varma, and O’Shea Jackson Jr. rounding things out.

The show even landed an Emmy nom for Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series. But it was met with mixed reactions from the fans.

So unless Lucasfilm has a surprise up their Jedi robe, it looks like fans will have to settle for one season… and keep hoping the Force eventually pulls McGregor back in.
